The terrifying tale centers on a man who falls in love, and attempts to break free of an authoritarian surveillance society 'Big Brother' is always watching. Screenwriter Noah Oppenheim has been tapped to pen a new adaptation of George Orwell's classic dystopian novel 1984. Noah Oppenheim to Write New Adaptation of George OrwellвЂ™s 1984 Scott Rudin and Gina Rosenblum are attached as producers, The earliest we'd imagine the watchful eye of Big Brother could return to the screen would be 2017, assuming the next Bourne film takes priority for Greengrass. Sony Pictures is funding the new 1984, and James Graham, who previously penned Finding Neverland, is currently on scripting duties.

Greengrass, whose next project is set to be his return to the world of Jason Bourne (having previously helmed The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum), has been linked to the project by Deadline.

Fast forward 30 years, and another take on the classic novel is coming, but this time with Paul Greengrass at the helm. The last adaptation of George Orwell's 1984 saw John Hurt taking on the role of Winston Smith, with Michael Radford directing. Once he's done with Jason Bourne 5, director Paul Greengrass looks like he'll be tackling George Orwell's 1984.
